Microsoft confirms Epson Printer bug caused by November 2017 updates. My Epson lq350 not working. For two days. Finally on November 21 I came across an article on the Epson support site “Epson Point of Sale and Impact Printers – Windows Update.

1. Epson Printer Not Working After Windows Update

• Printer not working after required Windows 10 update My printer was working great until Windows 10 forced me to do an update. Now I cannot get it to work.
• After WIndows 10 Upgrade, I lost my printer on devices. I re-install the printer's driver and still it doesn't print. After a reinstall, it will work temporarily.

How to update your product's firmware in Windows using Epson Software Updater

1. Do one of the following to open Epson Software Updater:
   Windows 10: Click the Start icon and select Epson Software > Epson Software Updater.
   Windows 8.x: Navigate to the Apps screen and select Epson Software > Epson Software Updater.
   Windows (other versions): Click the Start icon and select All Programs or Programs > Epson Software > Epson Software Updater.
   If you do not have the Epson Software Updater utility, you can download it here.


2. Select your model from the list, if necessary.


3. Select Firmware Updater by checking the box next to it. (Epson recommends installing all Essential Product Updates.)

5. If you see a message asking “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?”, select Yes.


6. Select Agree and click the OK button.

   Caution:
   
   • Wait for the firmware update to complete before using the printer.
   • Do not unplug the power cable or turn off your printer while firmware is updating. If your printer has an LCD screen, do not turn the printer off even if the screen turns blue or turns off.
   • The printer will restart on its own once the update has completed. If your printer has an LCD screen, it will show the home screen after restarting.
8. When the firmware update is complete, click the Finish button.
